    No, number of stops have nothing to do with the size of the sensor.
    It's ironic, this partnership with Leica, all that complicated name for the lens, and the aperture mechanism is very basic compared to what Huawei build after they ended their partnership with Leica.

    Anyway, better than nothing, finally a phone with this sensor that offer a smaller aperture.
    But I did noticed that they cheapened out a bit with the other sensor, much smaller than before.

      S9 has two, Pro-i two as well (next to have more).

      Huawei simply wanted to pay for it.
      Other did not.

          But tbh, I would have liked a stop at f2.8 and another at f5.6 and avoiding F4 if needed.

                    Unless companies introduce Meta lens and stacked sensors, the camera bump thickness is going to increase year after year.

                      Rear cameras excellent xiaomi got it right
                      the front is still the 32MP omnvision sensor which is very little for a top of the line 😩

                        Variable aperture FTW 👏
                        It will be interesting to see if the sensor can utilise stopping down. F4 will bring significant improvement in normal daylight conditions if it works as intended.

                          I hope it is not significantly more expensive outside of China and they better not take too long to release it worldwide.

                            that 4 brown lens looks very cool..
